and back again...

Never finished my story about Turkeyday weekend. So, we hung out at Grandma and Grandpa's house on Wednesday afternoon. We chatted and looked at pictures, both on the laptop and in albums. We started prepairing the Ham for thursday breakfast. We played with Grandma and Grandpa's new dog. Daisey is a beagle mix (Grandma thinks the other part is wippet, but hard to tell) that loves to smell things. Problem is, when she stands on her hind-legs, she can stick her nose up on the table, while we were eating.

So, Thursday... Uncle Phil & Aunt Corey & David & Megan came up from Lincoln, NE for breakfast, and Aunt Karen & Uncle Charlie came over as well. He had that 12lb ham along with eggs and waffles for breakfast. We hung out for a few hours looking at pictures again (both on the laptop and in albums...) and generally caught up. Being that I grew up in California and only got to see this part of the family on the occasional summer and holiday, I am enjoying that they are now just a day's drive away...

Thursday afternnon. Phil, Corey, David and Megan went to Corey's family's farm for Turkey, and Karen & Charlie went home to cook the turkay for our feast. Grandma. Grandpa, Janey and I went over to Karen & Charlies later in the day. We ate until we made the chairs creak. Around midnight we went back to Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Friday we just hung out and chatted most of the day. I helped Grandpa empty the gas out of his lawn mower and prepare the snow blower for winter. We replaced the spark plug and mixed up some 2-stroke gas and made sure it would start. We watched Nebraska loose their final game of the season. (boo)

Saturday, we had breakfast with Grandma and Grandpa, then we drove to Indiana.
